Summer Baby Shower Recipes

Updated: February 23, 2016

Planning a summer baby shower? Wow in the warm weather with these blissfully refreshing recipes, featuring tropical flavors and seasonal produce. Look no further than these bloggers' tried-and-true summertime creations for inspiration.

Watermelon Smoothie

Is there anything more quintessentially summer than a juicy watermelon? Serve this one up in a smoothie for a change of pace. Not only is this perfect for a pretty, pink baby-girl-to-be shower, watermelon has plenty of nutritional benefits for the pregnant set.

Lime Coconut White Chip Macadamia Nut Cookies

Blue Velvet Cupcakes

Okay, you can make the case for serving up a baby boy blue cupcake year round. But isn't there no better time to serve a sea-hued treat than in the summer? (Plus, it's the only season sporting a blue mouth seems slightly appropriate.)

Strawberries and Cream Tarts

This essentially effortless recipe is perfect for super busy moms: It uses strawberry whipped cream and refrigerated pie crust (but who has to know?). And the pink is just the thing for a baby girl's shower!

Peanut Butter Fudge Starfish

You may have this dessert mold in your house already — this blogger created these using a starfish sand toy! If you really want to go all out, you can create a sandy beach out of Rice Krispies for the starfish to bask on (complete with candy shells), but the stars alone are sure to impress.

Sparkling Italian Lemonade

Almond Joy Cupcakes

If you're absolutely obsessed with the beachy flavor of coconut, this is the recipe for you. Take a page from Jess of Craftiness Is Not Optional's book and serve them in blue or pink (or gender neutral!) liners, depending on the baby you're celebrating.

Ice Cream Sundae Station

Let the guests create the recipe…you can just set out the ingredients! Follow Jordan of Polka Dot Prints's lead and set up an ice cream sundae station, complete with your mom-to-be's favorite toppings (you can get creative like Jordan and add cookie dough balls and waffle cookies too).
